A synthetic psychedelic compound



4-AcO-MET (4-Acetoxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine) is a synthetic psychedelic compound belonging to the tryptamine class. It is structurally related to psilocin and psilocybin, which are naturally occurring psychedelic compounds found in certain species of mushrooms.

Chemical structure and properties

4-AcO-MET is a tryptamine derivative, characterized by the presence of an acetoxy group at the fourth position of the indole ring. Its chemical structure is similar to that of 4-AcO-DMT, another synthetic psychedelic. The compound is known for its psychoactive effects, which are believed to be mediated through its action as a partial agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor.

Pharmacology

The pharmacological effects of 4-AcO-MET are not fully understood, but it is thought to act primarily as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist. This action is similar to that of other psychedelic tryptamines, such as psilocybin and DMT. The compound is metabolized in the body to produce active metabolites, which may contribute to its psychoactive effects.

Effects

Users of 4-AcO-MET report a range of effects, including altered perception of time and space, visual and auditory hallucinations, and changes in mood and thought patterns. The intensity and duration of these effects can vary depending on the dose and individual sensitivity. As with other psychedelics, the experience can be influenced by the user's mindset and the environment in which the substance is consumed.

Legal status

The legal status of 4-AcO-MET varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance, while in others it may be legal or unregulated. Users should be aware of the legal implications of possessing or using this compound in their region.

Safety and risks

As with other psychedelic substances, the use of 4-AcO-MET carries potential risks, including psychological distress, anxiety, and the possibility of triggering latent mental health conditions. It is important for users to approach the substance with caution and to be in a safe and supportive environment.
